HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) Plans of HU Berlin for L1Calo
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) Plans for L1 Calo: Background • Discussions with TDAQ Management in September 2010: • HU Berlin whishes to share an upgrade project for the phase 1 luminosity upgrade now • There are no possibilities in Berlin for hardware contributions • Contribution to L1Calo with focus to simulation • Collaboration with U Mainz anticipated • We will bring in our experience from monitoring • Persons • Ivana Hristova (at CERN) and Andreij Nikiforov with 0.5 FTE each • Thomas Lohse, Martin zur Nedden (Group leaders) • Discussions taken place • One full day meeting in Mainz in November with all involved persons in Mainz • Phone Meeting with Steve Hillier in December 2010 an in person at February 2011 at CERN
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) Possible Fields of Activities • Development of algorithms for topological processor • Extended, deep studies of all possible topologies • Study also for higher luminosities • Study with real pileup events, test time consumption • Development of a framework and first studies started by Anreij Nikiforov • Simulation software within Athena • Understanding the interface between Athena and the simulation code • Prepare algorithms for topological processor to be transferred to VHDL • Sample preparation • High multiplicity minimum bias sample needed: special trigger • Hardware tests at CERN • Get involved in hardware activities for tests as soon hardware modules are available and tested at CERN • L1 Calo Monitoring • allready started by Ivana Hristova
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) L1 Calo Monitoring:Status and Plans
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) Overview of L1Calo Monitoring • Provide relevant information to shifters and experts • Based on Athena, can be used also offline • Scope of the work • Keep track of Athena releases at P1 • Updates for L1Calo monitoring software (svn, OKS, OHP) • Test changes in L1Calo standalone partition • Keep documentations up to date • Maintenance and development: • L1 calo monitoring in good shape in 2010 • L1Calo monitoring packages updated according to changes in simulation • New and/or modified histograms are implemented in OHP and DQMF
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) Contributions form HU Berlin • Contribute to the ongoing L1Calo operation and monitoring work • Participate in daily activities • Tasks since January 2011 (Ivana shadowed Taylor Childers) • Install up-to-date packages and releases at P1 • adjust athenaPT OKS configuration to new Athena setup, update OKS • test and deploy changes at P1 • update of documentations • Next projects • introduce PPM ADC pedestal histogram into OHP and DQMF • update threshold values of PPM LUT η/φ maps for high lumi
HU Berlin: L1 Calo activities (24.03.2011) L1Calo OHP Pannel for PPM Pedestal cells with largest deviation from mean pedestal value in η/φ regions check of pedestal drift can be automated by inserting into DQMF also pedestal drift per channel can be monitored
